the question should always be what is wrong with me? he might ask what your concern is about the symptoms ( what are you afraid of) of course tell him if so but steering the visit toward one ( unlikely in my opinion) diagnosis is doing a disservice to yourself.

I wanted to give an update as I appreciate the feedback on here. After talking to me and reviewing my symptoms, dr toran did not seem concerned at all about als. He said based on my family history and his experience that my symptoms present as more anxiety than anything else. I did not push for an emg as I remember you saying not to if a physical exam doesn't call for it. I will trust dr toran and the feedback from all of you.
